6:36 am
for 300 years, on and off, estonia was part of russia... ..ruled first by the tsarist empire, then the soviet union. links between the two are many and deep. in fact, around a third of the people here have russian as theirfirst language. but since the invasion of ukraine, the government has steered a course very firmly away from its powerful neighbour. there have been travel bans for russian tourists and something even more dramatic. historic russian and soviet monuments are being removed from public view, and notjust here.
6:37 am
the other baltic states, latvia and lithuania, are making similar symbolic gestures. this was among the first — a replica tank commemorating soviet soldiers killed during world war ii. it's been moved to estonia's war museum from the town of narva, which sits right on the russian border. the government says it's to avert what it calls "increasing social tension". oh, wow. look at this. you're very welcome. the t—34 was produced from maybe '405 to '60s, more than 80,000. so it's an extremely ordinary tank. nothing special. wow.
6:38 am
i mean, you say nothing special, but i mean, there's... that is like a rock. that's why it is tank. she laughs why do you think a museum is a better place for these sorts of objects? that's why the museums are created for, to keep the history. it's a question of symbols. and for our people, that is a symbol of occupation. that's a symbol of soviet rule. and we want to turn a new page. as you can see, we're not destroy it. we keep it. but the links are impossible to sever. so many of the big public spaces around the capital are russian built. they're bold, architecturally distinctive and pretty popular, too_ these days, the peter the great seaplane harbour is a maritime museum, painstakingly restored. the foreboding patarei sea fortress now hosts gigs and club nights. and noblessner port, imperial russia's vast submarine factory, is fast becoming tallinn's new leisure district. as well as cafes, bars and new luxury apartments on the way, there's this, proto.
6:39 am
its owners call it an invention factory. it's sort of an interactive museum. so as we cycle, the little cyclists on the track go around. so it's a race now? yes, it's a competition. yeah. so tell me more about this incredible building. i presume it hasn't always hosted parlour games. exactly. this building, it was the foundry... wow. ..of the shipyard. next to it was the coopersmith. then there was some storages, local power plant. the engine generator, workshop and assembly workshop. so a huge area where the submarines were produced. yes. among all the family attractions, there are still glimpses of the building's former life.
6:40 am
this is a control panel to open the gate. which is here... oh, here we go. ..this is exactly this giant gate. that is a giant gate. yes. that was used to take the ships out of the foundry. oh, right. so they'd bring them in and out here. yeah. you'd press the button and they rumble on out. so how do you feel about the russian and soviet monuments being taken down? well, i believe, i believe that the monuments would not kind of like give a tribute to the regime, but they should preserve the history and the memory. in this case, the best place for the monument is in the museum. we have this place. this is a wonderful way of people to learn the history and to remember the history. so it's preserving the history, not celebrating the ideology. absolutely right. these spaces are being lovingly restored. money and hard work have been spent to make them attractive.
6:41 am
some haven't had that treatment, but have become popular nonetheless. this is rummu. it was one of a string of soviet—run prisons that used to stretch across estonia. it's got quite a grim backstory. that's all history now, right? from their arrival in 1940, the soviets used prisoners here to mine and process limestone from the quarry. when estonia regained its independence in 1991, the site was abandoned and reclaimed by rising ground water. today it's become popular with swimmers, divers and snorkellers. so what could you tell me about this building and what it would have been when it was a functioning prison?
6:42 am
prisoners were working on all positions. they were working in this building, they were working in the mine where they were... they were digging out the material. they were also working as the ones who were making the explosions to get the material up. so most probably, they are the reason why this quarry was flooded. the limestone makes the water such a striking colour that some call it the blue lagoon. i think the most precious place is here, is the visibility turret. as you see today, we can see almost like five, six metres, fourfor sure. and every time i go diving here, i see something new. there's a complicated legacy of this place, given its history? i think the persons that were staying in this prison, for sure, they don't want to come back here. but for the rest of us, it's...
6:43 am
..mainly the place we can spend the summer time or enjoy the water because it's really warm and it's...it�*s really good visibility here and we can see everything inside. i really love being here in the water. sigrid has genuine affection for rummu. she wants to preserve it and stop it falling into the hands of developers. this could be considered as having a very strong association with the soviet period. do you think that these sorts of places should be preserved or taken down? that...it depends on the place, and it depends on the monument, maybe. because most of them have been taken down already. maybe the ones that we can use for the future to have the place to go to, to see some places, some pieces of history,
6:44 am
they should stay where they are. estonia is at a crossroads. many people are happy to see this country distanced from the russian regime. but there's a shared history here, one that's not going to be disappearing any time soon. and if you're thinking of heading to estonia, here are some travel show tips to help with your planning. tallinn is a classic christmas market sort of town and it looks lovely lit up in the town hall square from late november. pay attention to the tree. estonians reckon their capital was home to europe's first christmas tree in 1441. that claim is disputed by latvia. but tallinn still makes a big deal of it nonetheless. a couple of highlights from the old town. olde hansa is a super touristy but fun medieval—themed restaurant
6:45 am
just around the corner from the gothic town hall. it claims its food is still made to 17th century recipes. also nearby is niguliste museum in the 12th century st nicholas church. the big showpiece there is bernt notke's danse macabre, which invites you to think about the futility of life. and sauna culture is everywhere in estonia. there's a good chance there'll be one wherever you're staying. but look out for smoke saunas, where you'll sweat in the aroma of stripped alder and birch logs. still to come on the travel show... reflections on the summer of intense heat across the northern hemisphere. are they sweet? 0h! and the sweet, sweet taste of estonia's bogs. they're very sour!
6:46 am
so don't go away. this week we're exploring estonia, and just while we're in the capital of tallinn, i wanted to show you this. this is a remote working pod. it's in the middle of a shopping centre right in the cool part of town. places like this have been popping up since the pandemic throughout tallinn. the authorities have been keen to encourage people to come and work in estonia for an extended length of time and as a result have introduced special digital nomad visas. and it's notjust the visas. in tallinn, they've installed wifi across the city, all key services are online, and cool co—working spaces like this are popping up all over. these office huts overlook the baltic. hi. how are you doing? hi, miguel.
6:47 am
nice to meet you. good to meet you. oh, isn't it toasty warm in here? yeah. you need to experience estonia in winter because it's something completely different. it's...it's dark and it's cold, but it's also very cosy and warm. what is it about tallinn that makes this such a great place for digital nomads? there are very cool co—working spaces all around. there's a very good tech scene, also a very good startup scene, it's very. . . it's very open and friendly. everything invites you to, you know, to relax, to focus on yourjob. and in case you were in any doubt about how they like to finish the working day here, this place has four offices and five saunas! hi, my name is miriam nielsen and i'm working toward my phd at columbia university studying hydro climate extremes. i also make youtube videos about climate change and climate activism. frankly, the last several years, the northern hemisphere especially, has been seeing these intense, dramatic heatwaves that
6:48 am
are predominantly caused by increasing global temperature, by climate change. and we're seeing that in places like the uk and california. you know, what you're seeing in yosemite and the sierra is...more fires. when i first moved up here about 25 years ago, we'd get maybe one major fire every five to ten years. we're getting major fires every year now, and multiple ones. the problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. - so we have a lot more crevasse incidents because the snow- coverage on the glaciers is totally thinned out. i and then many places, i the glaciers are receding. we had to basically stop guiding | certain trips on certain glaciersl because itjust became too dangerous | for a while because the snow bridges| on the glaciers were too thin. and this has increased the number

of accidents with crevasses. - what basically happened is that the jet stream, which is this meandering current of air, got stuck in one place. and so all of this hot air from northern africa ended up piling up, that led to really, really high temperatures, which impacts everyone from sitting at home to snowpack on mountaintops. i mean, i'm not a climate expert, but obviously- there is climate change in place. and if it continues like this, l i think we just need to maybe adapt our scheduling, programming. and all these ice fields are literally gone. i there's absolutely some things you can do. we don't know the cause of the washburn fire, but it was human. you know, there was no lightning that day. so somebody dropped a cigarette, somebody did something. sojust be aware, if you're from areas where maybe it's not
6:50 am
as dry, even parking your car off pavement, you know, on dry grass, that has sparked fires up here that people have lost homes over. campfires are banned at most elevations during the summer, but still don't even try it. we have had fires that have started and again, people have lost home, by illegal campfires. so i think it'sjust, be aware of the environment around you during the summer in california, even in a non—drought year. it's dry. we don't have rain for months. it is ready to spark at the slightest human error. so be aware of all your actions when you're visiting the park. so the thing that i try to cling to is that with all these disasters from heatwaves to flooding, is that none of them are really new. humans have experienced all these events for a very, very long time and we've built structures and communities to cope with them. and we can keep doing that and we can respond to how the world is changing around us.
6:51 am
well, obviously travelling can be a huge source of emissions. spending time outside is one of the least emitting things you can do. and if you go looking for it, you can find these beautiful natural spaces basically anywhere. i've left the capital tallinn now and am making for estonia's countryside. this looks almost like savannah. itjust goes on forever. and for a landscape whose reputation has done something of an about—face in recent years. around 7% of estonia is made up of this bog land. and it's fair to say in the past, not everyone was a huge fan. in fact, people would regard a landscape like this with horror, because folklore said that this is exactly the kind of place where you might be
6:52 am
waylaid by evil spirits. times have changed, though, and it's now becoming apparentjust how useful these bogs are. the world's peatlands store twice as much carbon as forest, according to the un, and that makes them enormously valuable in the fight against climate change. it's odd to see a digger at work in a forest and to know that it's doing good. margus! hello. i'm christa. good to meet you. nice to meet you. as a result, estonia is making efforts to restore and re—bog some of the land that was drained decades ago. what is this big... i mean, it looks like mud, but is this peat? yeah, that is peat. actually, it's...if you look, it's...er, almost decayed, but not
6:53 am
totally decomposed plant material. ah, you can still see the fibres. and here it was, maybe depth of peat layer is two metres, which means that approximately, the lowest layers are 2,000 years old. we're trying to restore the forest habitats because in 1960s, back then, this type of landscape was considered as total wasteland. why is it important to restore these peatlands? it is important for carbon emissions. we want to stop carbon emissions here. we want that this peatland would store carbon, not emitting it. but people here are also finding out what a stunning playground this environment is. glad to meet you. good to meet you, too. i've got my gumboots ready. very good! ready to hit the bogs. let's go. aivar is a guide who lives, works and plays here in soomaa national park. he floats through the bogs in his canoe, skates and sledges on them in the winter, and stomps through them in these. any tips?
6:54 am
it's...it's not that difficult, actually. you just. . .walk. and one important thing, when you want to turn back, you always come with a u—turn. you don't step like this because of this. but u—turn, it works well. ok, these are one—way... one—way bog shoes. yes, only forward! 0k! whoop! bog shoes are a bit like snow shoes, and our crew soon discovers the importance of wearing them. don't fall over! yeah, that one is ok too. there's a lot, yeah? there's a lot. jordan has just emptied about a litre of water out of his boot. and that is why you wear bog shoes.
6:55 am
so, yeah, what's all this made up of? because it feels like we're walking on a big sponge. yeah, it's mostly made of moss. more specifically, sphagnum moss. so this is the plant here. ah, 0k. and if you take some of it, like, so you see... oh, it's really like a sponge, isn't it? so it is... so it's like a... ..growing up, so it is rotting down there or becoming peat. but in the bit, it's growing. it's...it's a... ..green, like a... yes! well, as you can see, it's living. it's sort of a... yeah. and it is full of water. it doesn't look like water. but if you squeeze it, you see?
6:56 am
oh, wow, look at that. it may look like a barren landscape, but there's plenty here to forage. it looks like someone's just spilled some berries on the ground. do you want to taste? i do. i've had cranberryjuice before, but i've never had a cranberry. yeah, they are... are they sweet? sour. 0h... they're very sour! mm, not that sour. and there's just one final chilly treat that aivar�*s keen to show me. all right. are you sure about this? is it a good idea? oooh! oh, god! i can already feel how cold it is. actually quite cold. they laugh this water makes you feel like skin is soft and makes you, like, a little bit younger. i mean, it'd want to cos it's really cold! oh, gosh... ooh! ohhh, it's really cold! oh, it's really, really cold.
6:57 am
i can see how, you know, after a bit of a... working up a sweat, bog—shoeing, must be a nice sort of shock to the system. so how far does this go down? a few metres. so if you... there is no bottom, yeah? so i think the verdict for the bog swimming is absolutely freezing cold when you don't come in the summer. wow. but, i mean, what a setting. well, i definitely needed to warm up after that! whoo—ah! but that's all we have for this week's programme. don't forget, you can catch up on our recent adventures by going to bbc iplayer, and there's plenty of other great travel content from around the bbc. just follow the handles on the screen now. and till next time, stay warm and bye—bye.

6:59 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with sarah campbell and roger johnson. our headlines today: police and rioters clash in the french city of marseille as the country battles with a fifth night of unrest. the boss of nhs england says children and adults are being "bombarded" with gambling adverts, as more addiction clinics are opened to deal with demand. in sport, a tough day ahead of england in the second test of the ashes need a captain's innings from ben stokes, as they try to stay in the ashes. it's after another day of australian dominance at lord's, with both the bat and the ball.
7:00 am
and we ask why we aren't swapping our gas boilers for more environmentally friendly heat pumps, despite government grants to get more of them into our homes. good morning. the weather is looking bright and greasy today —— breezy today, but fresh addenda the stage yesterday morning. some showers and a forecast but mainly towards the north. i will have a full forecast coming up shortly. it's sunday, the 2nd ofjuly. our main story: more than 400 people have been arrested overnight in france, after police and rioters clashed during a fifth night of unrest. many french cities have descended into chaos since tuesday, following the fatal shooting of a teenager by police. in marseille, officers were seen using tear gas against protesters. our correspondent rajini vaidyanathan has the latest. shouting.
7:01 am
saturday night in the port city of marseille, as france's summer of strife continues. police and protesters clashed, officers fired tear gas to disperse the crowds. unrest in france over the police killing of a 17—year—old continues. sirens wail. in paris, a beefed—up security presence. there had been calls on social media for protesters together in the city centre, but it seems they had been outnumbered by the police. as night fell here in the french capital, the mood quickly changed, and for the last few days, it has been a familiar cycle of frustration, anger and violence. the night was calmer. many who came to the area had their bags searched. some say it's another example of police overreach,
7:02 am
targeted at minority communities. translation: the person who was killed was a i minor and that is why more minors are coming into the movement. we support this movement because what is going on is unfair. imagine if that had happened to my brother because he refused to stop. we are not safe here. we should be safe with the police, but we are scared of them. that is not normal. tensions remain, even if the protests were less intense last night. there is anger at the killing of nahel. there is anger at the damage and destruction of the riots. what will the government do next to put out those fires? rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news. and just this morning, protesters around the car into the mayor's home in paris, according to reports. ——
7:03 am
rammed a car. our correspondent sofia bettiza is in lille for us this morning. bring us up to date with the situation where you are this morning?— situation where you are this mornin: ? ,., ., ., .,, morning? good morning. last night, for the morning? good morning. last night, forthe fifth — morning? good morning. last night, for the fifth 19 _ morning? good morning. last night, for the fifth 19 a — morning? good morning. last night, for the fifth 19 a row, _ morning? good morning. last night, for the fifth 19 a row, they _ morning? good morning. last night, for the fifth 19 a row, they have i for the fifth 19 a row, they have been protests across france. nearly 500 people have been arrested. here in lille there were special police forces in the streets and a curfew was imposed in some areas. this place, like many other cities across france, has seen looting, violence and fires. you can see behind me a building which used to be a health centre, about 35 people used to work there, mostly nurses and doctors, rioters came in the middle of the night and set it on fire. you can see that is completely destroyed. nearby is a school, the school was also damaged by the fire, and students of the school, children, wrote sign and put it outside the main entrance, and the sign says, please, do not burn our schools.
7:04 am
that gives you an idea of the fact that many people do not sympathise with the rioters. they have said to us that those people are destroying their own communities and their own neighbours, and this isjust not their own communities and their own neighbours, and this is just not the right way to demand justice for nahel. but this is notjust about nahel. but this is notjust about nahel. his death has reignited debate about the behaviour of the french police. the united nations on friday said this is a chance for the french police to look at issues of racism within the force. and when things like this happen, normally the government tries to reach out, but that hasn't happened. they have dismissed those comments by the united nations, so many people he had told us they want at least an acknowledgement that a problem exists in the first place, and that the police are guilty of racial profiling and excessive use of force. so until that happens, the anger that many people here feel is not likely to go away, and what that means is, possibly, more violence
7:05 am
and more riots in the coming days. sofia, thank you very much indeed. she was in lille, we were in toulouse last hour, will continue with our coverage in france. sarah has the other headlines this morning. nhs england is nearly doubling its number of gambling addiction clinics, after referrals hit a record high. seven new facilities will open this summer, amid warnings that children and adults are being "bombarded" with gambling adverts. our correspondent joe inwood reports. gambling has never been easier. every smartphone can become a virtual casino. that ease of access has coincided with a huge rise in the number of people struggling with addiction. people like luke ashton. last week, a coroner ruled his online losses contributed to his decision to take his own life. after his death, his wife ellie got access to his accounts.
7:06 am
there was just so much on there. i remember sitting down and scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, it was the same day, scrolling and seeing these transactions, it was so apparent at that point that there was a major issue, and how can someone make that many bets in one day? how can somebody do that and it not be picked up? they considered him low risk, even having that information in front of him, they still considered him a low risk, so something's wrong. just under 1,400 patients were referred for help with gambling addiction last year. that's nearly double the figure from two years ago. it has led to strong criticism of the industry, and the head of nhs england, amanda pritchard, has raised her own concerns, saying: the solution — seven more specialist clinics. there are already eight running,
7:07 am
including a national centre in london. the plan is to have space to treat 3,000 people a year, offering cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy support groups and after—care. but there are calls for industry to act as well. the nhs cannot and should not do this alone. so absolutely, we have called upon industry to act responsibly, stop some of the more pernicious and aggressive marketing techniques and unsolicited approaches to people. the government recently introduced proposals aimed at reducing the harms caused by problem gambling. today's announcement shows the nhs expects the number suffering to rise. joe inwood, bbc news. twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day. the site's owner, elon musk, said verified accounts can access 10,000 posts per day, while unverified ones can see 1,000.
7:08 am
the tech billionaire said the move was to address "extreme levels of data scraping and system manipulation." new laws aimed at curbing protest methods used by enviornmental activists come into force today. police will have the power to move protestors who disrupt transport networks, and offenders could face three years in jail for tactics such as digging make—shift tunnels. critics have argued that the tightening of the law threatens to the right to protest. the energy company shell is still trading russian gas, more than a year after pledging to withdraw from the russian energy market. an adviser to ukraine's president has accused the company of accepting "blood money" after campaigners found it was involved in nearly an eighth of russia's shipborne gas exports last year. shell said the trades were the result of "long—term contractual commitments" and do not
7:09 am
violate laws or sanctions. the labour party says it would offer a £2,400 bonus to teachers in the early stages of their career, to try to stop them from leaving the profession. under new plans, expected to be announced tomorrow, labour says it will drive "high and rising standards" in england's schools — and would make it compulsory for all new teachers to have a formal qualification. a european space telescope has embarked on a 1 million—milejourney to uncover some of the biggest mysteries of the universe. the euclid spacecraft was launched from florida yesterday, on a mission to make a huge 3d map of the cosmos. our reporter david lumb has the story. voiceover: five, four, three, two, one. ignition, lift—off. heading to space to solve one of science's biggest questions. what is the universe made of? the euclid telescope was launched from florida
7:10 am
on a falcon 9 rocket yesterday. voiceover: falcon 9 has successfully lifted off from pad 40 and throttled down to prepare for max q, which is coming up at t—plus one minute... power telemetry nominal. ..one minute and about 12 seconds. dispatched to an observation position 1.5 million kilometres from earth. it's hoping to give us the next bit of the puzzle to what this dark universe really is, 95% of the universe is dark, it doesn't shine, and we have to observe it through other means. we know something about it, but we don't know all of the things about these dark substances in the universe. so euclid really is the next step in our discovery of what this stuff is, that makes up most of our universe. euclid will be making a vast 3d map of the cosmos. the hope is to shed light
7:11 am
on the properties of so—called dark matter, which helps galaxies keep their shape, and dark energy, the force driving the expansion of the universe. researchers concede that at the moment, they know virtually nothing about them. voiceover: stage separation confirmed. applause. the european space agency is behind the mission, with significant input from nasa. it will take six years to complete. david lumb, bbc news. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, sarah. good morning, roaer and good morning, sarah. good morning, roger and sarah. _ good morning, sarah. good morning, roger and sarah. good _ good morning, sarah. good morning, roger and sarah. good morning i good morning, sarah. good morning, roger and sarah. good morning to i good morning, sarah. good morning, | roger and sarah. good morning to you at home as well. it is looking pretty decent for many of us this morning, this is the picturejust off the coast of the murray firth, we have some blue sky and a bit of
7:12 am
cloud around. i don't think any level see wall—to—wall blue sky today but certainly some sunshine to start the day off. we also have some shallow club meeting as well. it is actually quite a fresh start to the morning. we have had temperatures in a few spots down to single figures first thing today, but of course the sunshine at this time of year is very strong. so it is going to warm up very strong. so it is going to warm up as the day gets going. bright and breezy, i think, up as the day gets going. bright and breezy, ithink, is up as the day gets going. bright and breezy, i think, is the headline today. some showers around, will not be seeing all of them, they are most frequent across the north half of the uk, but further south you should see longer spells of dry and sunny weather through the day. it is a fairly unsettled picture, notjust today but for the next few days, we have low pressure in place close by, sitting here and moving towards scandinavia. that would be quite slow moving over the next few days, the winds are rotating around that, so they are coming in from the winds are rotating around that, so they are rotating around that, so they are coming in from a north—westerly direction, not an especially warm direction, not an especially warm direction of airflow at the moment. a frontal system bringing more persistent rain, just to the far north of mainland scotland up towards orkney as well. we have some
7:13 am
fairly heavy showers across parts of scotland developing, which could bring the odd rumble of thunder there as well. temperature is fairly average for this time of year, about 14-18 in average for this time of year, about 14—18 in the north, whereas in the south, 19— 22 degrees. you will notice that without fresh north—westerly breeze, it will feel a few degrees cooler than this today. as we go through the afternoon, still a few showers around. one or two parts of northern england and northern ireland, but tonight most of those showers will fade away. lots of dry unsettled weather as we had three into the early hours of monday morning and again, a fresh feeling to the weather stop temperatures remaining in double figures first thing tomorrow morning, so a touch warmer thanit tomorrow morning, so a touch warmer than it is this morning. through the day on monday, some showery rain, coming in on this feature here, a trough which is pushing its way in from the west. that will bring showery rain initially across ireland, then it will happen to wales in the middle part of the morning. that should ease as it pushes gradually east across england
7:14 am
and wales through the course of the day. the scotland and northern ireland on monday, it will be another day of sunny spells and scattered showers. could be perhaps just the odd rumble of thunder in one or two of these heavy showers as they push a slate in the day, but again, in many places, we will avoid them and of course it is the first day of wimbledon, the championships mostly dry, butjust some of that patchy rain filtering across the area later on in the afternoon. temperatures on monday about 13—20, cervical and unsettled spell of weather for the next few days but it looks like things are warming up once again later in the week. we need those showers to avoid the all england club, don't we? just to skirt around us. thank you, sarah. people probably don't have the heating on because the temperatures don't look too bad but at some point they will have to worry about it. if you've got a gas boiler, the government wants you to consider installing a sustainable heat pump instead. they're offering a £5,000 grant to households in england and wales, that are willing to make the switch,
7:15 am
but so far the scheme is falling short of its target. but what exactly is the government's boiler upgrade scheme? it launched in may 2022, and aimed to issue 30,000 grants each year in england and wales, to encourage households to switch to heat pumps. but in its first year, it's fallen far short of that figure — less than half of the grants have been handed out. and to meet their climate targets, the government wants to install 600,000 heat pumps every year, by 2028. we will talk to a guest about it in a moment. first, our science correspondent david gregory kumar went to meet someone who has invested in the eco—friendly heating option. and here it is, taking up a bit more space that a bicycle and making no more noise than a domestic fridge.

7:34 am
another airport, say, from france to italy, and then eurostar, last night, this is all tied up in the fact that bus and tram services across france have been closing down at 9pm, eurostar said last night, if you are on one of the later trains, then you can change your train, but bearing in mind that bookings for other trains and ferries are heavy. 0n the trans— port matter, i checked with the paris public transport service and once again, tonight, the age tram lines and all the buses will be shut down by 9pm, but you should still be able to travel around on the paris metro. that is an interesting _ around on the paris metro. that is an interesting point, _ around on the paris metro. that is an interesting point, isn't- around on the paris metro. that is an interesting point, isn't it. - an interesting point, isn't it. obviously there are curfews in paris, and as you say, transport is stopping early. so if people do go they have to be mindful of that, but also, sensible and the way that they may be steer themselves away from

overturned as mitchell starc rolled the ball on the ground as he slid. a lifeline for england. we area we are a positive unit, with what we try to do. i think you can see that in the way we play our cricket. you have good days, you have bad days, and i don't think we want to try to be anything different in the change room afterwards. you know, you take the rough with the smooth. when it is good, you enjoy it, but you don't get too down if you have a bad day. so we've got a bit of work to do, no doubt about it. but i think there is the belief in there from the players that they are still in the game. meanwhile, england's women face an uphill task to save their ashes series. after losing the test against australia, they've now lost the first of three t20 matches in their multi—format series. that means england are now 6—0 down and have to win all of their remaining matches is they want to regain the ashes. jo currie reports.
7:39 am
england's hopes of winning the ashes are hanging by a thread. they needed to ground themselves, and their buts. england's shining light, sophia dunkley, brought about some much—needed calm. her half—century giving 20,000 cloud something to cheer before she was dismissed soon after. it was left a local girl amy jones to the home side's innings and in style. the fans were on their feet as she finished with a flourish. australia sat 154th victory. could england take that late momentum into their bowling? nicely watched, sarah glenn. i“m late momentum into their bowling? nicely watched, sarah glenn. i'm at a two taken! tahlia mcgrath found some rhythm, and a boundary, while opener beth mooney continually punished england's bowlers. australia were cruising to victory before a late from england saw them

take three wickets for ten runs, and the game go down to the final two balls. the visitors only needed one of them. the maths for england is simple. they need to wind the next five days if they are to guarantee winning the series. mission impossible? maybe, but this is the ashes, and anything can happen. jo currie, bbc news, edgbaston. when you think of some of the great cricketing countries, the west indies is certainly up there — scotland, not so much. well, scotland have knocked out the two—time champions, the windies in qualifying for the one day world cup. they were set 182 to win in harare, and scotland chased down their target with more than six overs to spare — matthew cross with the winning runs. they must now beat hosts zimbabwe and the netherlands this week to have any chance of reaching the tournament, which starts in october. now, picture the situation — both your children are competing in the same race. who do you support?

for particular constellations of stars and if they aren't quite at the right angle then it we are dates itself using a spinning wheel inside and also a magnet which can push against the earth's magnetic field. some satellites are used to help with climate analysis. for example the way that radio waves bounce off the way that radio waves bounce off the ground can tell you how moist this oilers. and the way that waves bend as they travel through the atmosphere can help precisely determine the air temperature. and then there are the ships. by comparing the id signals broadcast by vessels with their actual positions, as given away by weightier rave reflections, it is possible to spot a fishing boats are saying one thing, but doing another. so that might be somebody fishing when they are not licensed to. it

7:54 am
so lots of railways rely on diesel engines. but europe is now seeing its first trifold passenger trains, they can switch between diesel, electrified lines, and their own batteries. paul carter has been to italy to see them being made and he has taken a ride on one as well. these might look like any other train but they are a first for europe. these trains being built in the heart of tuscany are europe's first tri—mode trains to enter passenger service, having started roots in italy in 2022. a5 passenger service, having started roots in italy in 2022. as well as being fitted with a standard digital
7:55 am
agent and a pantograph for overhead power, they also have a battery pack power, they also have a battery pack power unit in can be switched between modes. these trains are being manufactured by hitachi rail for italian rail operator trenitalia, based on hitachi rail“s masaccio platform. the characteristic is that he can combine during the trip and change this technology during the line, so without any sort of discontinuity and any sort of disruption. trenitalia brands their services around different music genres — such as rock, pop orjazz. they've decided to brand their masaccio trains as blues. diesel trains are still necessary, and are likely to be for some time because of the wide variation in the amount of electrified lines, particularly across europe. so train manufacturers and railway operators across the world are looking
7:56 am
at greener and more efficient ways to power their trains when external electric power isn't available. however, these trains will still rely on diesel power for large parts of some routes. the batteries only have a range of 15 kilometres at present, though they can be recharged while the train is in operation, both in diesel and electric mode. when it's near a station, the batteries power the train completely, cutting emissions and reducing noise. at other times, they will use overhead power or when the line is un—electrified, the diesel engine. however, the batteries will still be able to power other aspects of the train than just propulsion, such as lighting and heating. so what are some of the challenges with implementing battery technology in trains? is it weight or is it power consumption? it's a combination of these two items. so our experts and our designers are continually working on it. reducing the weight means
7:57 am
also reducing the energy and the consumption and it's a problem of space, it“5 a problem of weight. so the evolution of proposal for battery, it“5 improving this aspect. this is why in terms of weight and size, it's ok but now it will require test and test before it can go on the market. despite this, hitachi claim these new trains will produce 50% less emissions than regular diesel trains. currently we're totally focused on battery solutions. of course, our research and development is working on it but in terms of time to market, we are confident and believe that this solution that will have strong success in the immediate and short—term. like cars, the direction of travel for trains is towards that of battery power, but unlike cars, trains aren't quite there yet. now, trains like this specific one are a step in the right
7:58 am
direction, but we're still quite a few years out from having fully battery operated trains. but at least we're on the right track. that was paul. that is it for now, thanks for watching and we will see you soon. good morning welcome to breakfast with sarah campbell and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: police and rioters clash in the french city of marseille as the country battles

a5 night fell here in the french capital, the mood quickly changed, and for the last few days, it's been a familiar cycle of frustration, anger and violence. the night was calmer. many who came to the area had their bags searched. some say it's another example of police overreach, targeted at minority communities. translation: the person| who was killed was a minor and that's why more minors are coming into the movement. we support this movement because what's going on is unfair. imagine if that had happened to my brother because he refused to stop. we are not safe here. we should be safe with the police but we are scared of them, that's not normal. tensions remain, even if the protests were less intense last night. there's anger at the killing of nahel. the damage and destruction of the riots.

damage to public property. you can see behind me coming make that building was a health centre, about 35 people used to work there, mostly nurses and doctors. rioters came in and the middle of the night, set the building on fire and now it's completely destroyed. the worst of the violence last night was in the southern city of marseille. we are getting reports that in paris last night, people drove their car into the house of the mayor of one of paris“ suburbs. he was not at home but he says his wife and children were in and one of his children got hurt trying to escape and his wife is currently in hospital. he says it was horrific and called it attempted murder. this gives you an idea that in spite of the fact that the interior minister this morning is saying that the situation is calm, there's still a lot of anger and a

including a national centre in london. the plan is to have space to treat 3000 people a year, offering cognitive behavioural therapy, family therapy, support groups and aftercare. but there are calls for industry to act too. the nhs cannot and should not do this alone, so absolutely, we've called on industry to act responsibly, stop some of the more pernicious and aggressive marketing techniques and unsolicited approaches to people. the government recently introduced proposals aimed at reducing the harms caused by problem gambling. today“5 announcement shows the nhs expects the numbers suffering to rise. twitter has applied a temporary limit to the number of tweets users can read in a day. the site's owner elon musk said verified accounts can access 10,000 posts per day,

i know we are going to talk about the men first but sadly the women are doing much better? the women have been a — are doing much better? the women have been a lot _ are doing much better? the women have been a lot closer— are doing much better? the women have been a lot closer in _ are doing much better? the women have been a lot closer in their i have been a lot closer in their attempts to win than the men but unfortunately, the men have got 257 runs to my car on this fifth and final day. it's a big ask and they have not had to chase such a big target in an ashes test ever. but a ben target in an ashes test ever. but a lten stokes- _ target in an ashes test ever. but a ben stokes. let's _ target in an ashes test ever. but a ben stokes. let's see _ target in an ashes test ever. but a ben stokes. let's see how - target in an ashes test ever. but a ben stokes. let's see how he i target in an ashes test ever. but a | ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be _ ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be a _ ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be a defining _ ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be a defining day - ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be a defining day in i ben stokes. let's see how he does, this could be a defining day in the i this could be a defining day in the summer ashes series. they will need to ben stokes a lead from the front as his side aim to score 237 more runs to level the series but they only have six wickets in hand after another day of australian dominance at lords. bravery is a staircase at lord's. nathan lyon, calf muscle tom, of course knew he was no longer fit to bowl, but if he could make it out to the middle as australia's last batter, well, maybe he could help.
8:29 am
he couldn't run, but he could hit the ball for four. lion's contribution through the pain helped australia to 279 in their second innings and earned him from those gathered in the lord's long room a hero's reception. well, after the hobble — the chase. england needed 371 in their second innings to win the test match. australia, of course, now hunting wickets. well, bravery could be facing mitchell starc when his aim is perfect. too good for ollie pope. it seemed for a while that australia's first police were too good for anyone.— australia's first police were too aood for an one. ., .,, ., good for anyone. that was the fourth wicket to fall. _ good for anyone. that was the fourth wicket to fall, there _ good for anyone. that was the fourth wicket to fall, there was _ good for anyone. that was the fourth wicket to fall, there was not - good for anyone. that was the fourth wicket to fall, there was not a i wicket to fall, there was not a fifth. stokes thought he had bent kit but when he saw the replay coming body, ground. for decided starc was not in control of the catch. australia are confused and a bit cross. england need 257 more
8:30 am
runs today. meanwhile, england's women face an uphill task to save their ashes series. after losing the one—off test against australia — they've now lost the first of three t20 matches in their multi—format series. put into bat, sophia dunkley top scored for england at edgbaston — scoring 56, as her side side set australia 154 runs to win. but it wasn't enough, australia reaching their target with four wickets in hand and one ball to spare. that means england are 6—0 down and must now win all five of the remaining matches to win the ashes. when you think of some of the great cricketing countries, the west indies is certainly up there. scotland not so much. well, scotland have knocked out the two—time champions, the windies, in qualifying for the one day world cup. they were set 182 to win in harare, and scotland chased down their target with more than six
8:31 am
overs to spare — matthew cross with the winning runs. they must now beat hosts zimbabwe and the netherlands this week to have any chance of reaching the tournament, which starts in october. now a quandry for any parents — both your children are competing against each other — who do you support? well, the yates' family had that problem yesterday, as identical twin brothers adam and simon went toe—to—toe in a brilliant opening stage to this year's tour de france. it was eventually adam who came out on top in the final stages, pipping his brother to line and taking the leader's yellow jersey to secure his first tour stage win. another hilly stage awaits the riders today as they'll complete another 130 miles. to football — and with the women's world cup less than three weeks away, england's preparations got off to a frustrated start. in their final match on home soil before the tournament, the euros winners were held
8:32 am
to a goalless draw by portugal. alessia russo had the best chance, but her strike was cleared off the line at stadium mk. the lionesses fly to australia on wednesday and kick off their world cup against haiti on the 22nd ofjuly. and it was a night to remember in manchester for two british boxers. savannah marshall became the undisputed super—middleweight champion with a majority decision points win over the american, franchon crews—dezurn. 32—year—old marshall immediately called for a rematch with claressa shields after that victory. natasha jonas also became a two weight world champion, beating canada's kandi wyatt — with the referee stopping the fight in the eighth round. the victory means the 39—year—old has now won four separate world titles in two divisions in the space ofjust 16 months. earlier this week, we took a behind the scenes tour of the wimbledon clubhouse with tennis
8:33 am
superstar novak djokovic. he's won 23 grand slam titles and is hoping for another big win at wimbledon this year. as well as showing us around, he also gave us an insight into his children's favourite players. take a look. novak, when you won the french open, judy murray, andy's mum, posted brilliant of you as a youngster wearing some sensational pink shorts. yes. where has that picture been all this time, novak? you know, i don't know, but my mum says i look cute in that picture. i'm not sure. but i thankjudy for kind of going back in time and posting that, and she's right, you know, that's about how old i was when i met her and her son andy for the first time, i think i was 11 or 12 years old, and we developed into professional players, pretty much at the same pace, and we had a rivalry that,
8:34 am
really, we can be proud of. talking about being young, your son in particular, who is eight, i gather you are not actually his favourite player? yes, actually his favourite player was — was — nadal a few years ago... you finally talked him around, have you? yeah. then he liked denis shapovalov, than he liked alcaraz. actually, my daughter loves andrey rublev, his headbands and his style, and the grunts and everything. it's funny from the perspective of a father what really captures children's attention and admiration. my son, he is eight, my daughter is five, she is more into horse riding and ballet and gymnastics. she's a real girl. and my son, he's into tennis, he likes it, he likes dressing up in his tennis gear, and his favourite surface is grass, his favourite tournament is wimbledon. and he's excited to come here, i'm excited to have them around.
8:35 am
hopefully we can have a couple of successful weeks for me, but also fun for them on the court. novak mentioned his kids like carlos alcaraz, and he is actually the number one seed going into wimbledon, not novak djokovic. might wimbledon, not novak d'okovic. might i know ou wimbledon, not novak d'okovic. might i know you have _ wimbledon, not novak d'okovic. might i know you have got i wimbledon, not novak d'okovic. might i know you have got the i wimbledon, not novak djokovic. m grit i know you have got the support of your kids, isn't it? can i know you have got the support of your kids, isn't it?— your kids, isn't it? can we talk about andy — your kids, isn't it? can we talk about andy murray _ your kids, isn't it? can we talk about andy murray at - your kids, isn't it? can we talk i about andy murray at wimbledon, it is so nice to see him back and playing. is so nice to see him back and -la inc. is so nice to see him back and .la in. _ , ., , is so nice to see him back and -la inc. , ., , ., is so nice to see him back and -la inc. , ., ,., ., is so nice to see him back and -la inc. , . ,., ., , playing. ten years on from the first time he wanted. _ playing. ten years on from the first time he wanted. i— playing. ten years on from the first time he wanted. i remember- playing. ten years on from the first i time he wanted. i remember watching it. he is time he wanted. i remember watching it- he is not — time he wanted. i remember watching it. he is not seeded, _ time he wanted. i remember watching it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, i it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, which means _ it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, which means he _ it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, which means he has _ it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, which means he has got _ it. he is not seeded, unfortunately, which means he has got a _

8:37 am
being part of that legacy is just wonderful. they were here to make a better life for themselves. you're caring for somebody| and the abuse that you get, you don't let it affect you. you didn't want to give up. you just keep pushing against the barriers and you support each other, and that's what we do very well. i can't imagine the motivation to work that hard in a system | that didn't really get them. we had a mission, we had a goal we wanted to achieve for those to follow. i know that without them, i probably wouldn't be where i am today. we were pioneers and we left a legacy, if you like. - my name is martin griffiths. my name is samantha tross. my name is dr laura folkes. i'm a consultant, historian, site pathologist. _ i'm a trauma surgeon here at barts health nhs trust. and i'm a consultant, orthopaedic surgeon. j my mum was born in 1940, injamaica. in 1965 she came to england
8:38 am
to train as a nurse. my mum came to the uk in early 60s, properjamaican woman, church lady. my mum came and did her nursing training in england in 1964. - i have a vivid memory of the nurses in crisp white dresses, _ but theyjust looked amazing. when we think about what afro—caribbean people have done and if we point to what do black people do in britain, you say, well, we helped build the nhs. i came in 1964, in december, from the sunshine straight into the winter. and when i got off the plane, if somebody had said, - "here's your ticket, i go back to jamaica," i would have taken it! i missed my rice and peas, you know, and i missed all my friends _ and the rest of my family. after a while, you get a little bit depressed. j
8:39 am
i managed to get myself into nursing with the help of my brother. nursing was not on my agenda at all, and then it brought up that side of me that i never knew i had. that kind of loving, caring person. and the people that you worked with, you become such friends. _ that's how we actually found the comradery and the solace in each other. you were getting the racism. you were getting it from patients you're actually providing care for doing the best you can. the individual is sick and is dependent on you. it was so different to the caribbean. i mean, nobody prepared you for that. you know, remember that we didn't have a family. and so to change jobs, whatjob would you get? so, yes, i suppose it affected us. but we didn't dwell on it because we realised everyone was going through the same thing. ijust think kudos to us, you know, as a group of people,
8:40 am
and as black people, in what we've achieved. my parents were extremely proud when i qualified as a doctor. i i was the first black female - to become an orthopedic consultant, and i was lucky enough to also be the first woman in europe - to perform a robotic hip surgery. so two firsts under my belt. my mother was delighted to tell everybody that her daughter was a consultant. yeah, she loved it. here i am, newly minted trauma and vascular surgeon in whitechapel, looking after young boys and girls who've been stabbed and trying to work out what the heck is going on. so, we built a model of resilience and support that transformed those kids' lives, reduced readmission, and empowered young people. diversity within healthcare medicine is incredibly important. _ if you don't see black doctors, you just don't think that that's for you. nhs isjust like any organisation is changing. so what we want now is to move it
8:41 am
further and to see action. - then you will have a workforce that reflects the population _ that it's serving and those people will be reflected in all levels. i i don't think you could have the nhs as it is now without the contribution of black people back in the day. that sense of love that i grew up in is everywhere. it's in that dna of the organisation. yes, i think we were the backbone in many respects. and the thing is, we did it with love. we did it with compassion. we did it to the best that we could. if i had to choose another career, i would choose to be a nurse all over again. the nhs will be celebrating its 75th anniversary next wednesday — and there will be lots of coverage of the event across the bbc. new parents are being forced back to work early by the cost of living crisis according to the charity, pregnant then screwed, which has found that 14%
8:42 am
of mothers are taking less than three months maternity leave and more than a third of fathers take no paternity leave at all. our reporter dave edwards has been to meet one woman who's gone back to work less than a month after giving birth. sleeping soundly, baby wilder has no idea that his life is about to change — a lot. mum danielle is going back to work. i change - a lot. mum danielle is going back to work.— change - a lot. mum danielle is going back to work. i worked right u . going back to work. i worked right u- until going back to work. i worked right up until the _ going back to work. i worked right up until the moment _ going back to work. i worked right up until the moment i _ going back to work. i worked right up until the moment i want i going back to work. i worked right up until the moment i want into i up until the moment i want into theatre to have my c—section, and then the next morning when i woke up i was working again, giving messages and things like that, because you cannot let a message go unanswered. i am having to go back to work much sooner than i should be, he was born just four weeks ago. i have no choice, there is nothing that the government is providing help me.
8:43 am
daniel runs a pottery studio. even if she is not working, the electricity bill still needs paying. it has quadrupled recently and customers are feeling the pinch too as the cost of living rises. danielle is self—employed, so she gets £172.48 a week in maternity allowance. if you don't look for yourself, you get 90% of your average wage for the first six weeks, and then 172.48 for a week, or 90% of your wage, whichever is lower, for the next 33 weeks. that went up in april in line with inflation, but charities say it is nowhere near enough and it is making parents go back to work too quickly. if women are forced to return before they are ready, sometimes they are forced to return before they are fully healed from the birth, it will have a really negative impact on their mental health, their readiness to return to work and their physical

understand, and daniel would rather spend more time with him at home. now it's weather time. it is wimbledon tomorrow, does that mean we are going to have rayne? said, please tell us. i think it's good to be a little bit i think it's good to be a little hit up and down for wimbledon this week. we have got some showers on the way, particularly by the time we get to tuesday. forthe particularly by the time we get to tuesday. for the here and now, sunshine and showers across the uk today. some of us seeing more sunshine and a showers. this was this morning in the bromley. more showers across the northern half of the uk and it is quite breezy, westerly wind coming in from the north through the day. the winds rotating around, drawing in showers
8:46 am
from the north—west. more persistent rain sitting to the far north of scotland. a rash of showers moving through across western scotland this afternoon, some of them drifting east. northern ireland also catching some of those showers. i think it will be most heavy for northern scotland, there could be the odd rumble of thunder. there could be a light passing shower across wales and perhaps south—west england as well. temperature is fairly typical for earlyjuly but feeling a bit cooler because of those blustery winds. most of the showers easily this evening, a lot of dry weather through the night. overnight lows fall to about 10—14. a fresh start your monday morning, another fairly unsettled day, more weather fronts move across the north of scotland. a system hidden from the west likely to bring a bit of rain to southern parts of northern ireland. it will drift its way eastwards across
8:47 am
england as well. shall really rain here, could potentially bring the odd shower to the wimbledon area later in the afternoon. temperatures up later in the afternoon. temperatures up 13—20. forthe later in the afternoon. temperatures up 13—20. for the first day of the championships, not a up 13—20. for the first day of the championships, nota bad up 13—20. for the first day of the championships, not a bad day. sunny spells for the morning, the cloud does build through the afternoon, so just the chance of a passing shower through the latter part of the afternoon. it should clear by the evening. into tuesday, the next area of low pressure moves into the south, there is some uncertainty about exactly where this is going to be, but it looks most likely will see rain on tuesday in southern england and southern wales. i think most of us seeing a bit of rain for the time on tuesday. probably eases away by the evening hours. temperature not great on tuesday, not particularly warm forjuly. it stays fairly showery and relatively
8:48 am
cool for the next few days. the warmth may return from thursday into friday, particularly for the south, some higher pressure builds and something a little bit more summery. the debris from eight british hurricane fighter planes dating back to world war two have been found buried in a forest in ukraine. the aircraft were originally sent to the soviet union by britain, after nazi germany invaded the country in 1941. here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. in a forest south of kyiv, down in an old riverbed, something unexpected. the remains of old aircraft hidden deep in the ground. each one british, to their rusty core. here you see the tail plane of hurricane mark ii. you heard that right. this was once part of a hurricane fighter plane, one of thousands britain gave the soviet union
8:49 am
during world war ii. this is a little slice of history, evidence of a moment when, 80 years ago, western powers gave warplanes to ukraine, just as they are today, to defend against an invading army. you think there might be a seventh? yes. and here, under this frame, there are eight. many of the hurricanes were destroyed fighting the invading german army, others were stripped for parts. but some like these were deliberately hidden down here. the hurricane may have been the workhorse of the battle of britain, shooting down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire, but many also saw action in the frozen wastes of the ussr. every plane made in britain. every plane paid for
8:50 am
by the united states. and that is why these heavy frames were dumped here after the war, so the soviets didn't have to pay the us back for any hurricanes left intact, as had been agreed. those who discovered the planes say they made a real difference. the hurricane was a strong, easy to fly machine. stable as a gun platform. suitable for not experienced pilots. and reliable aircraft. these may look like unremarkable bits of metal, but to the ukrainian aviation museum, they are symbols of british assistance that echoed down the years. it britain was the first to supply aircraft to the soviet union. now great britain is the first country which gives cruise missiles to our armed forces. is history repeating itself? yes, of course.
8:51 am
the museum hopes to find enough parts to reconstruct one entire hurricane to look, if not to fly, like this — as once they did over the skies of ukraine. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. it is fascinating. it is the care they take when they take the bits it is fascinating. it is the care they take when they take the bits of planes out. they take when they take the bits of lanes out. ~ , ,., . planes out. when there is so much else auoin planes out. when there is so much else going on _ planes out. when there is so much else going on for — planes out. when there is so much else going on for them _ planes out. when there is so much else going on for them to - planes out. when there is so much else going on for them to worry i else going on for them to worry about. scotland has produced some of the world's most successful curling stars — and the sport is a crucial part of the nation's culture. the backbone of the team gb gold medal winning team from the beijing olympics. but crippling energy bills now mean many of scotland's ice rinks are facing closure — putting the future of sport under threat. jane lewis has more. scotland has a rich curling heritage, dating back to the 1800s through to the present day.
8:52 am
and last year's olympic success for the all—scottish team gb. but is the sport facing a crisis? there are 22 ice rinks in scotland, and scottish curling tell us three are under serious threat, with concern around others. this ice rink here in ayr is closing later this year after 50 years. we are devastated. there is no other word for it. in a normal year, wejust break even. but this year coming up, with the hike in energy prices, we just can't cope with it. our energy bill last year was 153,000. we have been quoted an increase in 110%, meaning that we need to find another 150,000 additional income next year. unfortunately, that
8:53 am
just can't be done. some famous curling names have honed their skills on the ayr ice. looking good. she has done it! from success in salt lake city to silver 12 years later in sochi. i started curling here when i was eight years old. my family all curled here. it was very much a family sport. growing up, this is where i learned how to curl. it wasn't for the ayr ice rink i would never have got to the olympics and won the medal. there are no positives here in terms of closures. no silver linings around it. we'll be losing members in significant numbers and therefore the total membership pool will dwindle. given the history and heritage of curling over the last 160 years, that isjust not something that we can tolerate. tough times indeed, with some theory for the very future of the sport. last year was incredibly successful
8:54 am
season for our elite athletes. that is great. it is terrific to see medals and medals around necks, but they'll means nothing, absolutely nothing if we can't keep our club curlers curling. if we don't have ice rinks, we won't have club curlers or a sport. a bleak message and bleak times on the ice. we are nowjoined by olympic curling gold medalist eve muirhead. thank you so much forjoining us. using that report. you have had such success with curling. how much of it was down to the hours of practice you had done at your local rink. that is what it came down to, it came down to where i started up in pitlochry ice rink, which sadly closed its doors in 2007, and then perth, and now stirling. it wasn't
8:55 am
for these rinks, we wouldn't have medals around our necks. if you look at how successful team scotland and team gb has been in the last few years, it shows that curling is a huge spot in scotland. to even think about rinks closing, it is so sad for the sport. i can only see the sport spiralling down the way. i suppose people might be surprised to learn that there are 22 rinks in scotland. would losing three of them be that bad, do you think? absolutely, it would be huge. yes, 22 sounds like a lot, but it is not that many. ayr ice rink is due to close its doors in september, there are 500 curlers there and many clubs. if that was to close its doors, where would those guys go? braehead closes doors not that long
8:56 am
ago. it would be a disasterfor the sport. i really think we need to fight to keep as many rinks open as we can. if we don't have ice rinks, we can. if we don't have ice rinks, we won't have a sport and it will be hard to continue this legacy. the fi . ures hard to continue this legacy. the figures are _ hard to continue this legacy. the figures are extraordinary, that this one i think we did needed another £150,000 a year to keep going. that is a lot of money. _ £150,000 a year to keep going. trisglt is a lot of money. gas and energy bills arejust through is a lot of money. gas and energy bills are just through the roof, aunt pounds—macro i know the rink in 44 had their bill rise thousands of pounds. you can put the subs up, you can increase what the cost is to cover curling, but that will not cover curling, but that will not cover those numbers. i know scottish curling has put together a board and formed a bit of a working group to try to help and support. but we can
8:57 am
keep fighting, and the sooner we get some major investment the better. the ayr ring, it was £419 a day, going up now to 880, so it is more than double. you say they are trying to get some kind of investment. can the government help, the scottish government? or is at the fact that you need some kind of big corporate backer you need some kind of big corporate hacker to come in and help? you need some kind of big corporate backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of — backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of both. _ backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of both. i _ backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of both. i think— backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of both. i think we - backer to come in and help? probably a little bit of both. i think we can i a little bit of both. i think we can involve the governing bodies, as well as the local and national bodies, i think that will help. but i think the scary part is, is this at the start of a domino effect? ayr has been the first rank within this increase in gas bills to put their hands up and say they can't do it and are closing the doors. is that going to carry on through other ice rinks? this season is coming very soon, they will hit the ice about
8:58 am
september. let's hope they get some major investment. but as as carruthers, we need to carry on curling. if we continue to go through those theirs, that will help. if we hit the ice rinks, carry on curling, that will help keep the sport alive. lstale on curling, that will help keep the sport alive-— on curling, that will help keep the sortalive. ~ . ., , ., �* ., sport alive. we certainly don't want to lose those _ sport alive. we certainly don't want to lose those amazing _ sport alive. we certainly don't want to lose those amazing moments i sport alive. we certainly don't want i to lose those amazing moments when eve and her team were winning gold. that is all from us on breakfast this morning. we will be back from the 6am tomorrow. have a lovely morning.
